WASHINGTON, Aug. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Ninety-two year old former Judge, World War II veteran, and world record masters runner Ralph Maxwell has written and recited a poem on YouTube on Mitt Romney's myriad position changes. The poem is substantive and hilarious with its truths by this nonagenarian.

After outlining Romney's "You flip flop almost ev'rywhere" including heath care, gun control, women's choice, immigration, global warming, minimum pay, stimulus, education, and taxes, he cites stanzas about "plundering" at Bain but "walked away a zillionaire," hiding tax returns, shipping jobs overseas, now he'd "feed the greed of the richest few" and "take an axe to millionaire's tax," among other issues. The poem is 3 ½ minutes by this brilliant and insightful ex-judge. He ends with a rising repeating crescendo calling for "Four More Years!" The title of the poem is "Wherefore Art Thou, Mitt Romney?"

1. Good for him. He hit most of the points against Romney.

Now, I'd love to hear his poem on Ryan.

He's still pretty darned sharp.

8. "Flip flop cavalcade"

This guy is great. The line about having six children, "so far," was great. The poem was carefully crafted and wonderfully delivered.

I'd love to just sit and listen to him talk for an evening. As a child, I hated listening to my elders, and the older they were, the worse I hated it. Quite the opposite now. They can be such a wellspring of knowledge to draw from.

15. Dutch Harbor was horrible and dangerous duty -- but he played it down, like a true veteran

He's a gem, polished and sparkling, no doubt about it.

And the poem, in addition to being wonderfully crafted, is spot on. If Romney had a heart and conscience -- which he doesn't -- and heard it, he'd withdraw from the race and go into the mountains of Utah to pray for foregiveness.
